Hi i was wondering fellas , i am thinking of buying a skyline at the end of the year jointly with my dad. i been doing some research, and because i am thinking of going for a R34 , where do you guys think it is best to buy this from???

i am thinking of going to a dealer called Edward's Lee Japanese Auto Centre. It is a place out in Parramatta for all u Sydney siders. any you guys had any experience with them?? do they tend to mark up prices alot in order for you to bargain them down, can some of you guys check them out, here is the site

http://www.japaneseautocentre.com.au/

are they reliable?? can you buy GTS-t R34 from any other place at a decent price, also in your eyes what do u think is a good price for this car. please be as speciific as you can.

On that site i am thinking of a car like this,

R34 Skyline GTS-T/R34NIS

Personally, I think buying privately is the way to go. Through my personal experiences I have found cars from private sellers are generally in better condition overall compared to dealers. The prices are also slightly cheaper and you get to know what the previous owner is like so you know how the car's been treated.

The price of that car seems slightly overpriced but it looks okay from the pictures. It is best to get a closer look in real life as pics don't do justice.

Good luck with the hunting! :rolleyes:

well i got mine from japlink in haberfield back in 2002 and i managed to get 3k off the price but i guess they still would made a profit but hey if they are a little pricey so be it as i was very happy with what i got (and still am) and was in great condition inside and out and my mechanic said the engine was in absolutely marvelous condition for a car thats now 10yrs old, and thats coming from a guy thats pretty to the point.

but my advice is shop around go to a number of dealers and also try private sales as well as the for sale section on this forum as a number of nice lines are always popping up for sale

in ur opinion though, do they overprice the car because they know ur gonna try to bargain down the price?

yes, i reckon some do...maybe not all...

either because they think you're gonna bargain it down, or because they hope someone will just walk off the street and pay the sticker price. They'll always try to get the highest price they can!

i'd offer less and walk away, leave your phone number with them. If they're keen to make a sale they'll ring, or you can ring them back to see what's going on after a few days, if they've had no other offers they might be keen to bargain with you..
